Your question What would I do if nobody were watching?

The spread

  1. The rim Snake A change of skin, and information arriving sideways. What to avoid: A warning read as a threat.
  2. The middle Door A plain yes, with a handle on your side. What to avoid: A door left open out of politeness.
  3. The bottom Mountain A large obstacle with a known route. Slow, survivable, worthwhile. What to avoid: Treating a hill as a mountain.

Under the sky over Washington, D.C., the first shape is a curve, and curves mean a change of direction rather than an arrival.

Door in the middle is a shape of enclosure: a room, a role, or an arrangement you have outgrown quietly.

The twist is at the bottom: a shape of two, and a suggestion that the week is decided by someone else's choice.

What to do

Clear one surface and the rest follows.

Timing

Three weeks is the real timescale, whatever the deadline says.

Take with you

The right people will not need the long version.
